Is your image more important than being happy? By Frances, aged 14, from Aberdeen published by Out there Report  Am I too fat? Do I have to be thin to be perfect? Do these phrases sound familiar? They're said time and time again by young girls, who are constantly being pressured to look 'perfect'. But what makes a person 'perfect'? I'd say that a perfect person is someone who is happy and confident, though our society and the media seem to think differently. Everywhere you look, you see 'perfect' images of what young girls should be. We're shown images of perfect skin, perfect teeth, silky hair and a gorgeous figure. And yet the same magazines and television shows contradict themselves by telling us that size 16 is normal. The media put celebrities under even more pressure, expecting far too much from them. I recently saw a story about Liz Hurley, and the headline read: "A hint of cellulite?" Inside, there was a close up picture of Liz Hurley's thighs, showing what they described as cellulite on her legs. Calista Flockhart, who plays Ally McBeal, is accused of being too thin, while Jennifer Lopez and Christina Ricci are told they are overweight. The press makes impossible demands on famous people, and then they attack them when they fail to live up to them. They say that being thin will improve your self-esteem, and suggest numerous diets. I wonder just how many people feel as though their self-esteem is actually being eaten away by the hundreds of glossy photographs they publish of perfect, air-brushed models. None of us is perfect, and trying to be perfect just leaves you feeling bad about yourself.
